The first connection path includes the electrode portion 6a→the routing portion 6→the plug connection portion 7-1→the plugs CC2-1 to CC2-3→the conductive film CF2-1→the electrode PD4-1→the electrode PD3-1→the barrier film BM-1→the routing portion 8. The second connection path includes the electrode portion 6a→the plug connection portion 7-2→the plugs CC3-1 to CC3-3→the conductive film CF2-2→the electrode PD4-2→the electrode PD3-2→the barrier film BM-2→the routing portion 8. The common connection path includes the plug connection portion 9-1→the plugs CC1-1 to CC1-3→the conductive film CF1-1→the electrode PD2-1→the electrode PD1-1→the wiring structure WS. The first connection path and the second connection path join at the plug connection portion 9-1 and are connected to the transistor Tr of the chip 10 via the common connection path. Thus, the conductive films MA1 and MA2 are connected in parallel between the electrode portion 6a and the common connection path.
The conductive film MA1 functions as the wiring MA1, and the conductive film MA2 functions as the wiring MA2. As described above, the wiring MA1 and the wiring MA2 function as power lines 22 and 23, respectively, and the width and thickness thereof may be set according to the amount of power to be transmitted and the required wiring length. Since the first connection path and the second connection path are parallel, the resistance of the connection configuration from the opening TV (electrode portion 6a) to the transistor Tr can be easily reduced. Thus, the wiring MA1 and the wiring MA2 can be reduced in the thickness by about half while maintaining the same length. That is, the wiring MA1 and the wiring MA2 can be thinned while still satisfying the required characteristics.
Alternatively, since the first connection path and the second connection path are parallel, the resistance of the connection configuration from the opening TV (electrode portion 6a) to the transistor Tr can be easily reduced. Thus, the wiring MA1 and the wiring MA2 can be approximately doubled in length while maintaining the same thickness (which is set according to the amount of power to be transmitted). That is, the wiring MA1 and the wiring MA2 can be elongated while still satisfying the required characteristics.

Openings are formed in the insulating film DL3 in a region corresponding to the conductive film CF2-1 and a region corresponding to the conductive film CF2-2, and are filled with a material containing a second metal (for example, copper or the like) as a main component. Thus, an electrode PD2-1 electrically connected to the conductive film CF2-1 and an electrode PD2-2 electrically connected to the conductive film CF2-2 are formed.
After that, on the +Z-side surface of the insulating film DL3, recess portions 204 are formed at positions shifted to both sides in the Y direction from the stacked body SST2.

In the step of
Thus, a stacked substrate WF is obtained in which the substrate WF_10, the substrate WF_20_1, and the substrate WF_20_2 are stacked in order in the Z direction. The stacked substrate WF includes a plurality of chip regions. Each chip region has a structure in which the chips 10, 20_1, and 20_2 are stacked. By dicing the stacked substrate WF at the boundaries of the plurality of chip regions, the plurality of chip regions are separated into pieces. Thus, the semiconductor storage device 1 including the chip region is obtained.
As described above, in the first embodiment, in the connection configuration from the opening TV (electrode portion 6a) to the transistor Tr in the semiconductor storage device 1, the conductive film MA2 of the chip 20_2 and the conductive film MA1 of the chip 20_1 are connected in parallel. The conductive film MA1 functions as the wiring MA1, and the conductive film MA2 functions as the wiring MA2. Therefore, the resistance of the connection configuration using the wiring MA1 and the wiring MA2 can be easily reduced. Thus, the wiring MA1 and the wiring MA2 can be reduced in the thickness by about half while maintaining the same length. That is, the wiring MA1 and the wiring MA2 can be thinned while satisfying the required characteristics.
In the first embodiment, the resistance of the connection configuration using the wiring MA1 and the wiring MA2 can be easily reduced. Thus, the wiring MA1 and the wiring MA2 can be approximately doubled in length while maintaining the same thickness according to the amount of power to be transmitted. That is, the wiring MA1 and the wiring MA2 can be elongated without increasing the film thickness while still satisfying the required resistance characteristics or the like.
For example, the wiring MA1 and the wiring MA2 may be elongated in accordance with a required change in a planar configuration.
In a case where the wiring MA1 (conductive film MA1) and the wiring MA2 (conductive film MA2) are thickened in order to reduce the resistance as the length is increased, when the stacked substrate WF is diced, the stress that the conductive film MA1 and the conductive film MA2 receive from the dicing blade tends to increase. Thus, the conductive films MA1 and MA2 may peel off in the vicinity of the edges of the chips 20_1 and 20_2, which may reduce the reliability of mounting the chips 20_1 and 20_2.
In the first embodiment, the wiring MA1 and the wiring MA2 can be thinned while still satisfying the required characteristics, so that the peeling of the conductive films MA1 and MA2 can be reduced during dicing, which can improve reliability of mounting.
When the wiring MA2 is thickened in order to reduce the resistance while the length is increased, voids tend to be formed when the wire is bonded to the electrode portion 6a of the wiring MA2 through the opening TV. This may cause bonding failure.
In the first embodiment, the wiring MA2 can be thinned while still satisfying the required characteristics, so that the occurrence of voids in the electrode portion 6a during bonding can be reduced, and bonding failure can be reduced.
When the wiring MA2 is thickened in order to reduce the resistance while the length is increased, the step on the upper surface of the insulating film DL3 tends to increase. Thus, an increase in the amount of the protective film deposited on the upper surface of the insulating film DL3 later may increase the processing cost of the protective film.
In the first embodiment, the wiring MA2 can be made thinner while still satisfying the required characteristics, so that the deposition amount for the protective film can be reduced, thereby reducing processing costs of the protective film.

In the plug connection portion 9-1i, the flat portion 9d is substantially flat and extends in the Y direction while maintaining substantially the same Z height. The Z height of the flat portion 9d is equal to the Z height of the routing portion 8. The flat portion 9d is continuous with the routing portion 8 at the Y-direction end. Thus, the +Z-side surface of the conductive film MA1i can be formed substantially flat.
The convex portion 9e is disposed on the −Z side of the flat portion 9d, and has a convex shape from the flat portion 9d to the −Z side. The convex portion 9e has a substantially isosceles trapezoidal shape in a YZ cross-sectional view. A substantially isosceles trapezoidal shape has an upper base that is longer than a lower base. The convex portion 9e has side surfaces that are inclined on both sides in the Y direction. Thus, a step extending from the Z height of the routing portion 8 to the Z height of the base of the convex portion 9e is formed.
The flat portion 9d may be made of a material containing the first metal as a main component. The convex portion 9e may be made of a material containing the second metal or the third metal as a main component. The second metal has a lower resistivity than the resistivity of the first metal.

The plug connection portion 7-1i has a flat portion 7d and a convex portion 7e.
In the plug connection portion 7-1i, the flat portion 7d is substantially flat and extends in the Y direction while maintaining substantially the same Z height. The Z height of the flat portion 7d is equal to the Z height of the routing portion 6. The flat portion 7d is continuous with the routing portion 6 at the Y-direction end. Thus, the +Z-side surface of the conductive film MA2i can be formed substantially flat.
The convex portion 7e is disposed on the −Z side of the flat portion 7d and has a convex shape from the flat portion 7d to the −Z side. The convex portion 7e has a substantially isosceles trapezoidal shape in a YZ cross-sectional view. A substantially isosceles trapezoidal shape has an upper base that is longer than a lower base. The convex portion 7e has side surfaces that are inclined on both sides in the Y direction. Thus, a step extending from the Z height of the routing portion 8 to the Z height of the base of the convex portion 7e is formed. The +Z-side ends of the plugs CC2-1 to CC2-3 are connected to the convex portion 7e.
The flat portion 7d may be made of a material containing the first metal as a main component. The convex portion 7e may be made of a material containing the second metal as a main component. The second metal has a lower resistivity than the resistivity of the first metal. When the first metal contains aluminum or the like, the second metal contains copper or the like.
The plug connection portion 7-2i has a flat portion 7d and a convex portion 7e.
In the plug connection portion 7-2i, the flat portion 7d is substantially flat and extends in the Y direction while maintaining substantially the same Z height. The Z height of the flat portion 7d is equal to the Z height of the routing portion 6. The flat portion 7d is continuous with the routing portion 6 at the Y-direction end. Thus, the +Z-side surface of the conductive film MA2i can be formed substantially flat.
The convex portion 7e is disposed on the −Z side of the flat portion 7d and has a convex shape from the flat portion 7d to the −Z side. The convex portion 7e has a substantially isosceles trapezoidal shape in a YZ cross-sectional view. A substantially isosceles trapezoidal shape has an upper base that is longer than a lower base. The convex portion 7e has side surfaces that are inclined on both sides in the Y direction. Thus, a step extending from the Z height of the routing portion 8 to the Z height of the base of the convex portion 7e is formed. The +Z-side ends of the plugs CC3-1 to CC3-3 are connected to the convex portion 7e.
The flat portion 7d may be made of a material containing the first metal as a main component. The convex portion 7e may be made of a material containing the second metal or the third metal as a main component. The second metal has a lower resistivity than the resistivity of the first metal. The third metal has a higher resistivity than the resistivity of the first metal. When the first metal contains aluminum or the like, the second metal contains copper or the like, and the third metal contains tungsten or the like.
In such a semiconductor storage device 1i as well, the resistance of the connection configuration from the opening TV (electrode portion 6a) to the transistor Tr can be easily reduced by parallel connection of the conductive film MA2i (wiring MA2i) and the conductive film MA1i (wiring MA1i). Thus, the wiring MA1i and the wiring MA2i can be reduced in the thickness, which is determined according to the amount of power to be transmitted, to, for example, about half while maintaining the same length. That is, the wiring MA1i and the wiring MA2i can be thinned while meeting the required characteristics.
In addition, in the semiconductor storage device 1i, the resistance of the connection configuration can be easily reduced, so that the wiring MA1i and the wiring MA2i can be approximately doubled in length while maintaining the same thickness (as set according to the amount of power to be transmitted). That is, the wiring MA1i and the wiring MA2i can be elongated without increasing the film thickness while meeting the required characteristics.

Thus, the conductive films MA201 and MA202 are connected in parallel between the routing portion 26 and the first common connection path. Thus, external electrostatic noise can be released from the routing portion 26 to the substrate 2.
The seventh connection path and the eighth connection path join at the plug connection portion 29-1 and are connected to the substrate 2 of the chip 10x via the second common connection path. Thus, the conductive films MA201 and MA202 are connected in parallel between the routing portion 26 and the second common connection path. Thus, external electrostatic noise can be released from the routing portion 26 to the substrate 2.
The conductive film MA201 can be formed in the same step as the step of forming the conductive film MA1 (see
As described above, in the third embodiment, in the connection configuration from the routing portion 26 to the substrate 2 in the semiconductor storage device 1x, the conductive film MA202 of the chip 20_2x and the conductive film MA201 of the chip 20_1x are connected in parallel. Thus, the wiring MA201 and the wiring MA202 can be thinned while still meeting the required characteristics.
It is noted that as a first modification of the third embodiment, as shown in
The semiconductor storage device 1y has chips 20_1y and 20_2y instead of the chips 20_1x and 20_2x (see
The chip 20_1y has a conductive film MA201y instead of the conductive film MA201 (see
The plug connection portion 29-1y has a flat portion 29d and a convex portion 29e.
In the plug connection portion 29-1y, the flat portion 29d is substantially flat and extends in the Y direction while maintaining substantially the same Z height. The Z height of the flat portion 29d is equal to the Z height of the routing portion 28. The flat portion 29d is continuous with the routing portion 28 at the Y-direction end. Thus, the +Z-side surface of the conductive film MA201y can be formed substantially flat.
The convex portion 29e is disposed on the −Z side of the flat portion 29d and has a convex shape from the flat portion 29d to the −Z side. The convex portion 29e has a substantially isosceles trapezoidal shape in a YZ cross-sectional view. A substantially isosceles trapezoidal shape has an upper base that is longer than a lower base. The convex portion 29e has side surfaces that are inclined on both sides in the Y direction. Thus, a step extending from the Z height of the routing portion 28 to the Z height of the base of the convex portion 29e is formed.
The flat portion 29d may be made of a material containing the first metal as a main component. The convex portion 29e may be made of a material containing the second metal or the third metal as a main component. The second metal has a lower resistivity than the resistivity of the first metal. The third metal has a higher resistivity than the resistivity of the first metal. When the first metal contains aluminum or the like, the second metal contains copper or the like, and the third metal contains tungsten or the like.

The plug connection portion 27-1y has a flat portion 27d and a convex portion 27e.
In the plug connection portion 27-1y, the flat portion 27d is substantially flat and extends in the Y direction while maintaining substantially the same Z height. The Z height of the flat portion 27d is equal to the Z height of the routing portion 26. The flat portion 27d is continuous with the routing portion 26 at the Y-direction end. Thus, the +Z-side surface of the conductive film MA2 can be formed substantially flat.
The convex portion 27e is disposed on the −Z side of the flat portion 27d and has a convex shape from the flat portion 27d to the −Z side. The convex portion 27e has a substantially isosceles trapezoidal shape in a YZ cross-sectional view. A substantially isosceles trapezoidal shape has an upper base that is longer than a lower base. The convex portion 27e has side surfaces that are inclined on both sides in the Y direction. Thus, a step extending from the Z height of the routing portion 28 to the Z height of the base of the convex portion 27e is formed. The +Z-side ends of the plugs CC22-1 to CC22-2 are connected to the convex portion 27e.
The flat portion 27d may be made of a material containing the first metal as a main component. The convex portion 27e may be made of a material containing the second metal or the third metal as a main component. The second metal has a lower resistivity than the resistivity of the first metal. The third metal has a higher resistivity than the resistivity of the first metal.
Even in such a semiconductor storage device 1y, in the connection configuration from the routing portion 26 to the substrate 2, the conductive film MA202y of the chip 20_2y and the conductive film MA201y of the chip 20_1y are connected in parallel. Thus, the wiring MA201y and the wiring MA202y can be thinned while still satisfying the required characteristics.

The semiconductor storage device 1z has chips 20_1z and 20_2z instead of the chips 20_1y and 20_2y (see
The chip 20_1z has a conductive film MA201z instead of the conductive film MA201y (see
The routing portion 28z may be made of a material containing the second metal as a main component, instead of the material containing the first metal as a main component. The second metal has a lower resistivity than the resistivity of the first metal.
The plug connection portion 29-1z has a flat portion 29dz instead of the flat portion 29d (see
The chip 20_2z has a conductive film MA202z instead of the conductive film MA202y (see
